Wow, this game was a bit unnerving... In my book this game was played almost as
poorly as the two games that we lost... So many things that I just didn't
understand:

. Why is it that Anae doesn't let Williams run
outside the tackles?. Why is it that our Offensive line is incapable of
allowing our QB to set up in a pocket?. Why is it that Hill is still
throwing behind receivers and not checking off... On the Pick by Houston in the
End Zone he had a receiver wide open on the flat...? On the Pick 6 it was like
he looked at the Defender and threw right to him.... We have inxperienced
corners due to injuries so why do we put them in a position to go "man"
on deep patterns? Why not give them more help fro the Safety?. Why is it
that the only time we ran a sweep was when we gave it to the FB on a 2 point
try? Why not throw or sweep or misdirect with the HB?

. And why do we
have replays when it was clear that the replay call was wrong on the fumble
recovery?

Great game. I had the honor of watching two good team duke it out till the end.
For those that dismissed this Houston team I hope you learned your lesson. As
for BYU they just earned some great exposure to the not just the capital of HS
football but in the heart of the city with the best HS teams in the state.

Both team won tonite. BYU earned a win and lots of exposure and Houston
proved that they are a team to be taken seriously.

This will be one
of my favorite games I have watched and I just may make the trip to Provo next
year to cheer my red Cougars.

That's a lot of "If's" in
your argument. I think you should stick with the facts.. BYU won because of
Hill's running and a win is a win. That's what counts. Don't
discredit the team or their performance just because you wanted to watch a few
different plays.

Can you utah fans quit talking about conference or not playing for anything?
That got old the first year and now it is year 3 and you still say the same
things. What are we, elementary school kids making comments

If you ranked all of the teams in the PAC12 this season
from 1-10, ten being highest, one being lowest, then Oregon would rank 10. The
rest of the teams would be 5 or less. Which means that the majority of the PAC12
has a lot of parity with those unclean, detestable mid major conferences U sneer
at.

Wow, give Houston credit, but it was a crazy game with lots of great plays and
lots of mistakes on both sides of the ball for BYU. I think the offense is still
improving and we could really use a better defense against the pass. I am
worried about Hill running 34 times and getting sacked 8 times, he has got to be
sore and I don't think he can keep it up all season.

If we can
just get the big errors corrected then we have a chance at winning the tough
games we still have left - Boise State, Wisconsin and Notre Dame. Go Cougars!

Until the debacle unfolded in Tucson tonight, ASU only had to lose to Utah and
Utah would have had the edge for the championship game based on direct head to
head results! But, now that is all spilled milk.

To diminish a win
against an undefeated FBS team is just irresponsible. 5-0 is 5-0 and a win a
win. To base suggestions on different 'what if' scenarios is also
irresponsible. Because the whole landscape of a game would change with the very
first iota of the first 'if'. Field goals missed... Interceptions not
thrown... Both sides of the equation have the same claim to frivolous what if
questions. There is only one 'if' that has substance behind it. If
that last Houston drive had not ended in an interception it is all but
guaranteed the loss would have been in place of a win. Of that there is no
doubt!

Many teams on all levels have had to have a quarterback that
could convert clutch conversions. So to blast the Cougars for their
'reliance' on Taysom is in effect saying that you don't respect
many other players through the years that have been key to wins! Champion
players!

Great win and a great game! It was nerve wrecking watching though, a nail biter
if I ever saw one. After one particular outstanding defensive play that got us
the ball deep in Houston territory, the very next play we got called for
unsportsmanlike conduct on the sidelines. That ticked me off so bad but never
really knew what or who was called. In the end I was happy we came out with the
win which was all that matters.

I'm actually more of a Utah fan than BYU, watching this game I can say BYU
got hosed on a lot of calls...i come in with a mutual approach not really caring
who wins but man byu got the short end of the stick. Good game cougars. Wish
Utah could have pulled it off as well last night

PAC 10 PrideYour last game that meant anything for the standings in a
conference ended up with you losing to a Colorado team that hadn't won on
the road in 3 years. Since then you have been out of "anything" games
with 0-4, 0-4, 1-3 starts. Congrats.

If all the 'ifs and buts'....this was an awesome game and you can
really see the growth of the team and players.

If Taysom Hill was at
this point in August we would have beat Virginia. Candidly, we would have put a
couple more touchdowns on the board against the Utes and won that game. Again,
all the 'ifs and but.'

No matter, BYU is having a great
year. Next up, Boise State, which we have a great shot at winning. Wisconsin and
Notre Dame would be incredible signature wins, and if they happen would vault
BYU into the top-20 somewhere.

A big compliment to Houston. They win
how BYU used to, with high octane offense. Did you catch how many true freshman
they had on the field? Several, to include the quarterback. They are likely a
team on the rise in the years to come.

Now off to Boise State!
I'm thrilled to have tickets to the Idaho game. In any case, good times
ahead!

thebigsamoanRichmond, VAi,m with you on that penalty on the bench,i
later found out that it was not the bench or even a BYU player,there was a
bystander from the crowd standing behind the BYU bench,complaining about the
roughing the kicker hit and would not shut up,but because he was close to the
BYU bench they got the penalty called on them,one of the radio broadcasters
said something about on the post game show.

yes just like when utah plays a legitimate pac 12 team what happens THEY LOSE
and just like all the local trolls they also lose..sounds like sour grapes to me
because your team lost to a bottom dweller.
